　　Good Friendships Don’t Just Happen

　　Experts agree that it is essential for children to establish high­quality

　　friendships.But，researchers

　　warn，these friendships don’t necessarily just happen.Often，a good friendship begins with involved parents.

　　Psychologist Dr.Lynne Kenney Markan believes kids should be taught social skills in much the same way they are taught math and reading.

　　Bad Company

　　Many parents worry about the quality as well as the quantity of their child’s friendships.“When she was in 1st grade，her supposed ‘best friend’ began calling her names and threatening to hurt her，” says Mindy Miller.“My daughter wasn’t allowed to talk to or even look at other girls in her class.It really crushed her spirit.I told my daughter she didn’t need a ‘friend’ like that.”

　　“I’ll bend over backwards to help my son get together with a friend I think is good for him，” Adler­Tapia says.“I don’t look at it as manipulation (操纵)，just positive parental involvement.”
